As I don't use POP I can't confirm that K-9 has the "keep on server" option, but I assume it does. It's kind of kludge (that was added to try to help with with multi-client viewing), but doesn't really address the basic consistent client view (and folders) capabilities that many people want at a minimum. Also, "keep on server" isn't the same as "resyncing back to the server". While the former is supported in the POP3 protocol, I don't believe you'll find the latter there. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the K-9 Mail Users List.
